the ak is utilitarain, but very functional. I am currently testing the buy safe guarantee, because when i bought it for 636.00 2 days later it was advertized for 100.00 cheaper. i think buysafe will come through with a refund for the difference, which makes Buds an excellent place to purchase a firearm. The only thing about the ak that I don't like is the fact that it didn't come with a Muzzle break, only a muzzle nut. I havent had a chance to fire it yet, but I'm pretty sure it will act like it's supposed to.

I have run approximately 500 rounds through my WASR. It was performed flawlessly. I have had no FTFs or FTEs.
Mine came without a cleaning rod (which can be purchased for about $5 to $10) or a cleaning kit (which is fine since I'm buying a different stock anyways). It had a nut muzzle break with a spot weld. One magazine fit and functioned flawlessly... no rattle. The other, however, did not function past about 10 rounds. I took a hammer and a file to reshape it. After that it has performed perfectly.
I've heard that pre '94 ban-rifles were of questionable quality, but thus far I haven't had an issue.

I want to start by saying I have not shot it yet. However, I have function tested it and love it! First off, yes, it is a WASR. However, is DOES NOT have a canted front site or gas system. In fact, with out taking out my protractor, compass, and t-square, I can't detect any variation in them at all! The wood is very good. It is not silky smooth but there are no soft spots. In fact, it reminds me of the kind of wood one would get with a do-it-yourself black powder kit. A few minutes of sanding and a little stain or varnish would make it look AWESOME! The bolt carrier number matches to the rifle, even though the bolt itself is not a number match. The pistol grip is of the standard, plastic AK style. The metal finish is at least 90-95% if not higher. It was not covered in packing grease and clearly does have a properly installed Tapco G2 fire control group. The riveting is nice and all mechanics seem to function as they should. The only "complaint" I have is that it does not have an muzzle break, just a thread protector that is spot welded on. However, I think a fine touch with a proper tool would fix that problem. Is this the top of the line AK variant? No. Is it a decent entry into the world of AK? Yes. Basically if you just want an AK variant for a shooter, this would seem to fit the bill nicely. If you want a show piece, look at something else.

Got the rifle in 5 days can't complain about that at all. I read the reviews before I bought it and saw that everyone said it came really oiled up. I didn't think that they meant it as much as it did! Didn't have to sand or touch up the stock looks brand new. Only reason I give it 4 stars for right now is because I have yet to shoot this one. I have shot a russian one while deployed to Iraq so hopefully it is just as good!
